Shearer9 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Ok, so my installation of Windows is completely fucked. I'm using Ubuntu right now to post this. I'd like to reinstall windows, but there's one problem: My CD Drive isn't working. I've tried installing from a USB drive and that has failed, I don't know if you can install from an external hard drive and my BIOS fails to recognize my external CD Drive. Anyone have any other ideas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lazlo Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Stick your hard drive into a different PC with a working drive, and install that way..? Or just pick up a new drive, they're not expensive these days. I don't think this would work because windows installs drivers specific to the mobo that is being installed on. Did you try the usb/external h/d installation with usb legacy support turned on in bios ? You 'may' be able to install via a disk image using daemon tools. but yeah, they're pretty cheap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
